In December of 2016, Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero proclaimed to be the greatest tag team in space and time, issuing an open challenge to any team that disagreed. Every team was invited to participate in Tag Team Apocalypto, a no-holds-barred, single-elimination, gauntlet-style brawl at the Hardy Compound. After the success of Final Deletion and Delete or Decay, the buzz for this on-location spectacle was very high, with rumors that champions from other promotions (Young Bucks) would get involved.

Instead, there were TNA regulars like Abyss and Crazzy Steve, the Helms Dynasty and a bunch of Indy teams. However, there was one major duo to show up in Cameron, North Carolina: the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express.

A few months before Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, the NWA legends shot rockets and brawled on cranes in a tribute to their scaffold matches from yesteryear.
